He died. He died And no-body cried. No-body cared. No one was scared. Thought, 'What will I do?' They already knew. He was a kind man A gentle man Always first to the bar And last to the table And he'd help anyone In whatever way he was able To. And every other week He turned the other cheek Because that's what he'd been taught To do. And he'd died. In the middle of the night Whilst everyone else slept. No one thought about Where he was heading Or, once he got there What he might find. Just of what they'd be getting Out of the things he'd left behind. And he'd died. He'd died And no-body cried No-body cared Thought, 'What am I supposed to do?' They already knew. Oh, and the legacy? No-body could agree. |

Simon, Your poem happens to some people. It's an incentive to have a large family, and to keep connected. Bobby |

Fine writing...when you say nobody grieved I associate that with nobody cared...and thats sad for them...perhaps they had their reasons...James |

Simon, there was so much raw emotion in this poem, that I do believe it just poured out of your heart and onto the page with nary an edit. ~ and it did not need an edit! It was pure, potent, and poetic. God bless that man for whom nobody grieved ~ but there is this poem that shows someone did care!   Linda |

Im not leaving anything behind, if I don't spend it I'm taking it with me as Murphy's law dictates when (if?) I get up stairs it won't be a free bar.... |
